a blog diary and record of learning…

Article about a 6 yr old who brought a loaded firearm into school. It is claimed that the firearm fell and then fired. I am very curious as to what type of firearm was involved in this incident. Most modern firearms are engineered to be drop safe. A casual drop is unlikely to make a gun just “go off”.

This leads me to believe this was an older firearm, an heirloom, old revolver in a dresser drawer, etc. And is a very good reminder of the importance of keeping your firearms under lock-and-key when not needed.
